The Art of Procrastination: A Journey from "Maybe Tomorrow" to "Here’s My Art!"

"I started painting because I was really good at avoiding things I was supposed to do."

Like many artists, I didn’t wake up one day and declare, ‘I’m going to be a serious artist now.’ I've always loved creating art, but I was often encouraged to focus on getting a 'real job.' So, for a while, making art was just my way of avoiding laundry. Or maybe it was ignoring the fact that we were in lockdown because of COVID. Either way, I found myself sitting in front of another blank canvas, wondering what might happen if I actually started taking painting more seriously

What started as a hobby to procrastinate and avoid all things bad quickly turned into something more. I began creating art not because I had a profound message to share, but because I simply couldn’t stop. Every painting became a little adventure, a way to express something I didn’t have the words for.

The cool thing about painting is that it’s never just about what you see. It’s about the process. Sometimes I throw paint on the canvas like it’s a wild party, sometimes I carefully layer it like I’m assembling a really intense sandwich. Each piece reflects my mood, chaotic, chill, spontaneous, and occasionally, very very tired.

If you buy my art, you’re not just getting a nice piece for your wall. You’re getting a piece of me, a person who definitely should have been working on something else but got lost in the creative process. You’ll also get something that’s pretty darn unique, because each time I paint, I’m not sure exactly what’s going to happen... and that’s kind of the fun part.

In short, my art is for anyone who likes things that are a little unexpected, a little playful, and maybe just a little bit like procrastination turned into something beautiful.
